KAT must be the smartest player in the league. |

Can't match the IQ of AC Green that's for sure. |

Dang, another potential 2021 FA off the board. |

Kuz officially ruled out for opening night. He's now been out with injury for two months since leaving Team USA and the team has not given any expectation as to when he might return.
Seems like it's a pretty serious injury from these limited facts. |

Its pretty clear that this is an era of hold guys out for as long as possible even if the injury is insignificant. Especially at the start of a season.
Just no incentive in this championship or tank environment. |

Whatever happened to him getting an MRI? These are the typical games the Lakers play with injuries. The lack of transparency is concerning.

This. He still is not clear for full contact practice, so even Friday game is in jeopardy. No big deal. We will win both games. |

Lakers kept Kuz because most likely NO wanted BI. I doubt they asked for Kuzma instead of BI and Lakers said no. They may have asked for both but I would bet it was Zo, #4 and pick one of the two between BI & Kuz. Hart was the final sweetener to complete the deal.
Kuz is officially 6th man on this team. He will probably back up AD, LBJ and close when they move AD to center. |

In order to get #2 we needed to get rid of both BI and Zo. We had a shot at him but ultimately didn’t get him. Even though we didn’t get load management I can’t fault Pelinka for trying this strategy since he had the role players lined up as the backup plan. |

Who would of thought out of Lonzo, Ingram, Kuzma would be the one to be hurt starting the season.

All the team has said was "stress reaction".
Some people on Reddit said "mid November" and to be honest I wouldn't be surprised  |

As reported by Christian Rivas:
| Quote: |
Kuzma will have the opportunity to get a full-contact practice in on Wednesday and Thursday, according to Vogel. If all goes well during that time, Kuzma could make his regular season debut as soon as Friday, when the Lakers are scheduled to take on the Utah Jazz. If not, he’ll get another chance on Sunday against the Charlotte Hornets. Both games will be at Staples Center.

I always thought Bynum's injuries were due to lack of awareness.

Yea like....how does that happen TWICE ya know? Honestly because of him I was always hyper conscious of situations like that when I hooped and probably avoided some injuries.
